6-Week Progressive Overload Training Program. This program is PERFECT for beginners to strength training or if you want to learn the ropes on this new style of training! This program offers both dumbbell only options and full gym equipment options. This 6-week program is designed to help you build muscle, burn fat, and increase strength through progressive overload. 5 days per week with the flexibility to choose 30- or 45-minute workouts, depending on your schedule. Warm-up included, the full routine is 60 minutes or less. Each workout includes Build, Balance, and Burn portions for a well-rounded routine focused on strength, muscle growth, stability, and calorie burn. Warm-ups are included to prep your body for success. Workout Breakdown: - Each portion is 15 minutes or less, giving you the option to choose 2 segments for a 30-minute session or complete all 3 plus the warm-up for a full 60-minute workout. - Progressive overload is applied weekly, adjusting reps and loads to ensure consistent progress. Track your progress, challenge yourself, and see results over the 6 weeks. This program delivers strength, muscle, and balance while fitting into your busy life. RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) is a tool used in strength training to gauge how hard a set feels on a scale from 1 to 10. You will see RPE used throughout the program: - 1-4 RPE: Very light effort, more of a warm-up or recovery. - 5-6 RPE: Moderate effort, leaving 4-5 reps in the tank. - 7-8 RPE: Challenging but manageable, leaving 2-3 reps in the tank. - 9 RPE: Very challenging, leaving just 1 rep in the tank. - 10 RPE: Maximum effort, no reps left in the tank.

Loved it. The healthy habits we were expected to follow for the four weeks were chosen perfectly, and the key to anyone having success in this challenge. Jill's Spring Shred showed just how uncomplicated it can be to feel your best, you just have to be consistent! The workouts were challenging, but so FUN! I looked forward to them every day. I also really liked the community aspect of it. Knowing these other women were busting their tails just as much as me, helped give me that push! I loved seeing their posts, showcasing how proud of themselves they were! Everyone was so inspiring!

About Jill Thornton

Online personal trainer

I’m a busy mom, body transformation coach, and founder of Breakthrough Coaching. After coaching for over 14 years, I’ve learned that the women who see real results aren’t doing anything extreme, they’re just consistent with simple habits. I used to be stuck in dieting cycles and intense workouts with little to show for it. What changed everything was focusing on realistic habits that actually fit my life. Now I help women 40+ ditch the all-or-nothing approach, build strength, and eat in a way they can stick to. No quick fixes, just real strategies to help you feel strong, confident, and in control.
